Bonus Round 4

Mobius Double Reacharound FST - Revisited


Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 4! Bringing back a favourite from last year! (Sorry for the delay, we're very busy!)

Here’s how this is going to work: somebody will submit a selection of 3-6 songs without comment. Then somebody else will come along and create a companion fanwork to fit the soundtrack!

Rules

1. If you are submitting a soundtrack: submit only the track listing and download or youtube links. The idea is that people should ~interpret~ your selections!


2. You are not allowed to fill soundtrack prompts with your team's ship, nor are you allowed to fill your own soundtracks. (Filling your team's soundtracks is okay!)


3. Soundtracks count for 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.


4. Fills may be in whatever format you choose (except FST, of course) so long as they link the songs by mood and/or lyrics in some kind of narrative.


5. Post your fill as a comment to the prompt post, using the title format described below.


6. This challenge will run until 11:59PM EST August 3rd.

24.

Twenty-four different shapes of the world, each colliding, twisting and claiming dominance. Twenty-four edges of the computer, two sharp, sixteen winded and the rest grosteque. Twenty-four voices screaming in your head, some high some low some twisted and some icily sane, all of them in pain, all of them burning in some kind of hell.

You reach for him, what's left of him, and your world splinters in half as his body breaks. Your trembling fingers grasp hold of his hair and you're staring at his head again, staring at a face that will never say anything back to you or rap out sweet tunes for your ears, and you shake, fresh tears falling on his dead face like rain.

"you sHoUlD hAvE sAiD yes."

"THaT OtHeR TImE."

"why didn't yOu SaY yes?"

"WHY DIdN'T We GeT TOGETHER?"

You kick his head away, not caring that his horns have thoroughly punctured your feet.

That bitch. That demoness in orange and blue, that monster who broke him and broke you and left nothing in your world when you needed it the most. That girl with one eye, that thing that you'll smash to tiny little pieces if you can just -

TC: JUST YOU WAIT, SERKET.

TC: i'm coming for you.

But then that irrational fear takes over, so you delete everything before returning to knocking your head on the wall repeatedly, hating yourself and wishing everything would just end.

You'd take a knife and cut out her eye.

You'd bleed her out and watch her die.

"8ut you won't, Gamzee!!!!!!!! You're too weak for this. You haven't even killed a single imp. You're weak, weak like Tavros, weaker than Tavros. He was 8rave enough to take on me, while you're sitting here alone. You're just a fucking joke."

"Oh look. It looks like you're also running out of sopor. How convenient. Are you just going to curl up and die? Cry Tavros a river, Gamzee. It's not like anybody else is going to care."

"GET YOUR FILTHY FINGERS OUT OF MY PIE," you snarl, launching two bottles of faygo across the room. They break and shatter and fall to the ground in a puddle, and you stand up, more disgusted with yourself and what you used to be than you've ever been.



13.

The world's falling apart at the seams, and it's taking you with it.

It's horrifying how chaos is breeding clarity, how you think by becoming madder and madder, you're actually becoming sane.

One second passes and your blood cools.

One minute passes and you start drawing.

One hour passes and you own a mural of blood.



8.

He shows you the path to revenge.

From the bard to the seer, from the seer to the thief.

He shows you a picture of her lying DEAD on the roof, a pool of cerulean beneath her heart.

From the bard to the seer, from the seer to the thief.

He shows you what you need to do. You can have all the fun you want with her body later, he whispers. You can do anything. Literally anything.

From the bard to the seer, from the seer to the thief.

Do you not want revenge? Do you not want her to die the exact same way he did? Do you not want to watch it happen and gloat?

From the bard to the seer, from the seer to the thief.



You accept.



1.

sis.

ROOF. NOW.

8ring the puppet.



You wonder if her blood tastes more delicious than yours.
